Swallowed a MenagerIe.

NJ. D'Orbigny, q traveller who was passing
through Guiana, in South Africa, was, when
encamped one night in the edge of wood.
awakened by what he took to be tho cries of
man in distress He listened, and heard,
following each other i'll great rapidity, what
seemed to be scream Of terror and despair,
then asupplicetion, and then cry rs of ono
dying. The traveller leaped from bis couch,
seized his gun, and hastily woke his Indian
guide.
aCome, this instantl" he cried "Therc is
some one being murdered in the thicket. Let
us go to his assistance"
Thercupon the cries were repeated, and tho
Indian listened. lie burst into laugh.
aWhat do you mran9" asked the traveller.
aThat, sir" said the guide, lis the ton tion
bird, perched on a limb somewhere in the
neighborhood. It Is only piece of mockery.
Presently you will hear him laugh"
And then, in fact, a wild shout US Of laugh
ter rang out OH the night air.
Tho ton ton is sort of South American
hooking bird, which has en- extraordinary
gift of imitation. 1t is also bird of great
beauty of plumage. 1t is sometimes called
the "yellow neck" It's feathers are of lively
colors and its tail is brilliant and spreading.
The natives use its feathers to decorate their
hats with on feast days, and turn their head
gear into golden crowns in appearance.
The bird n,imics almost every sound he
hears, as the parrot does. The inhabitants Of
Guiana assert that be can initiate faithfully
the accent of the English, French and Sran-
ish. Natural sounds and the cries of animnis
of every sort he reproduces very cleverly.
The story is told Of negro who saw and
heard tue ton ton for the first time, and who
exclaimed, after the bird had gone through
his long list of limitations Of animals, cha!
him eat whole menageriel"-Youth's Com

nuru IN prayer meetlngf De short ara De
spirited. DO you reucn in Bible classi
Though you have to study every night be in
i teresting. Do you accost people on the sub
ject OF religion in their homes or In public
placesl Study adroitness and use common
sense. The most graceful and most beautiful
thing on earth Is the religion Of Jesus Christ,
and if you awkwardly present it it Is defama-
tlon. We must do our work rapidly, and We
must do it effectively. Soon our time for
work will be gone.
A dying Christian took out his witch and
gave it to friend and said: "Take that
watch, have me- more use for it; time Is
ended for me and eternity begins" Oh, my
friends, when our watch has tucked away for
us the lost moment, and our clock hds struck
for US the last hour, may it be found we did
our work well, that We did 1t in the very
best way, and whether we preached the Cos
pei I'm pulpits or taught Sabbath classes, or
administered to the sick as physicians, or
bargained as merchants, or pleaded the
law us attorneys, or were busy as arti-
sans or as husbandmen or as mechan-
les, or were, like Martin, called to give u
meal to hungry Christ; or, like Hannah, to
mako coat for prophet; or, like Deborah,
to rouse the courage Of some timid Barak In
the Lords conflict; we did our work in such
way that it will stand the test Of the judg-
ment And In the long procession Of the re-
deemed that march around tho throne, may
1t be found there are many there brought to
God through our fundamentally, aud In
whose rescue We are exultant.
But, oh, you unsaved, wait not for that re-
ligious discourse of the future. It may come
after your obsequies. 1t may come after the
stonecutter has chiseled our nane on the slab,
fifty years before. Do not wait for u great
steamer OF the Cunard or White Star line to
tako you off the wreck, but hail the first
craft with however low a mast and however
small q hulk, and however poor rudder,
and however weak captain. Better dis
abled schooner that comes up In time than
full rugged brig that comes up after you have
sunken.
Instead Of waiting for that religious dis
course Of the future-it may be forty, fifty
years ofR-take this plain invitation of man
who, to have given you spiritual eyesight.
would be glad to be called the spittle by the
hond of Christ put on the eyes of blind man,
and who would consider the highest compli-
ment of this service if, at the close, $40 men
should start from these doors saying:
"Whether he DO sinner or no, know not.
This one thing know, whereas WIS blind,
now see."
Swifter than shadows over the plain, quicker
than birds In their autunnal flight, hastier
than eagles to their prey, HE you to sympa-
thetc Christ. The orchestrns of heaven have
already strung thcir instruments to celebrate
your rescue.
And many were the voices around the throne:
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own.

But I remark again, the religious dis
course Of the future will be an awakening
sermon. From altar rail to the front door
step under that sermon an audience will get
up and start for heaven. There will be in it
many q staccato passage. 1t will not be q
lullaby; it will be battle charge. Men will
drop their sins, for they will feel the hot
breath of pursuing retribution on the back
of their necks. 1t will be sympathetic with
all the physical distresses as well as the spir-
itual distresses of the world. Christ not
only preached, but he healed paralysis, and
he healed epilepsy, and he healed the dumb
and the blind and ten lepers. III
That religious discourse of the future will
be an everyday sermon, going right down into
every mans life, uIld it viii teach him how to
vote, how to bargain how to pillow, how to do
any work he is called to- how to wield trowel
and pen and pencil and yardstick and plane.
And it will teach women how to preside over
their households, and how to educate their
children, and how to initiate Miriam and
Esther and Vashti and Eunice, the mother Of
Timothy, and Mary, the mother Of Christ;
and those women who, on northern and south
ern battle fields, were mistaken by the
wounded for angels of mercy fresh from the
throne Of Cod
Yes. have to tell you the religious dis
course of the future will be reported SER
mon. If you have any idea that printing
was invented simply to print secular books,
and stenography and photography were con-.
trived merely to set forth secular ideas, you
are mistaken. Tho printing press is to DO the
great agency of Gospel proclamation. 1t is
high time that good men, instead of denounc-
ing the press, employ it to scatter forth the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. The vast majority Of
peopls in our cities do not come to church,
and nothing but tue printed sermon can reach
them and call them to pardon, and life, and
pence. and heaven.
So cannot understand the nervousness of
some of my brethren of the ministry. When
they see newspaper man coming in they
say: "Alas, there is reporter Every
added reporter is ten thousand, fifty thou
sand, hundred thousand immortal souls
added to the auditory. The time will come
when all the village, town and city news
papers will reproduce the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, aud sermons preached OH the Sabbath
will reverberate all around the world and,
some by type, and some by voice, all nations
will be evangelical.
The practical bearing Of this is upon those
who are engaged in Christian work, not only
upon theological students and young minis
tiers, but upon oil who preach the Gospel and
oil who exhort In meetings, and that is all Of

there was little travel from place to place,
and people would sit and listen two and n half
hours at religious discourse, aud seven
teenthlyn would find them fresh and clipper.
In those days there was enough time for
nan to take an hour to warm himself up to
the subject and all hour to cool Off. But
what was necessity then is n superfiuity
now Congregations are full of knowledge
from books, from newspapers, from rapid
and continuous intercomnlun': ation, and
loug ,lisquisitions OF what they know already
will not lie abitled. IL religious teacher
cannot compress what he wishes to say to the
people in the space of forty-five minutes, bet
tor adjourn it to some other day.
The trouble Is we preach audiences into a
Christian frame, and then we preach them
out OF it. We forget that every auditor has
so much capacity of attention, and when TINT
is exhausted he is restless. That accident on
the Long Island railroad some years ago
came from the fact that the brakes were out
Of order, and when they wanted to stop the
train they could not stop, and hence the cas-
ualty was terrific. In all 'religious discourse
we want locomotive power and propulsion.
We want at the same time stout brakes to let
down ut the right instant. 1t is q dismal
thing after bearer has comprchenled the
whole subject to hear q man say; snow to re-
capitulate,n and "a few words by way of APP
